Out Of Lence In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

George and Lennie were best friends for a long time, more like brothers. Lennie is about as bright as a 2 watt bulb, so George couldn’t really get mad at him when he accidently killed Curley’s wife while feeling the softness of her hair. “…’I ain’t mad. I never been mad, an’ I ain’t now. That’s a thing I want ya to know’”. The two had planned a future together—a future in their own dream ranch, a ranch where no trouble would ever bother them. “’You…an’ me. Ever’body gonna be nice to you. Ain’t gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from ‘em’”. Then after he tells him about the rabbits that Lennie is so fond of, he shoots him in the back of the head where he knows it will not hurt him, and Lennie will not know what hit him. This is the peaceful alternative to what Curley had in store for him. Curley's exact words were "shoot the bastard right in the guts." George's euthanizing of Lennie makes the mentally incompetent Lennie die with dignity. Had Curley gotten to Lennie first, Lennie would have suffered. This shows you how much George cares for Lennie, no matter what he does or the crimes he commits. He’d always be there to help Lennie get right back up to his feet, make him forget all his worries, and move on like nothing happened. I strongly believe George was the right person to kill Lennie, and made the right decision in doing so, rather than to let him suffer in the hands of Curley.

After Lennie has inadvertently murdered Curley’s wife, Curley’s lynch mob go out in search of Lennie. George’s decision is almost inevitable to spare Lennie’s life, rather than let Curley and his gang destroy the bit of life Lennie has.

As many people who were out to get Lennie, the only person qualified to kill him was George. George has been there for Lennie, his whole life, “Him and me was both born in Auburn… When his Aunt Clara died, Lennie just come along with me out workin’. Got kinda used to each other after a little while” (Steinbeck 40). Furthermore, George was only trying to take away more suffering later in the future. Since Lennie killed Curley’s wife,

Furthermore, it is a parallel to the death of Lennie, George has to kill Lennie on his own, so as to make sure thatCurley will not lock Lennie up in a cage and torture him.As for the death of Lennie, George saves Lennie by killing him. As mentioned above, Curley may lock him up and torture Lennie to take revenge for his hand and his wife. “This ain’t no good”, as their leader Slim said. Slim knew that Curley may torture Lennie, so he told George. This is why George chose to kill Lennie and not let Curley do it which would be a huge mistake and put George in a serious

Any good person does not want to watch a friend to be hurt, and George is no exception. George is most worried for Lennie when Curley says ‘“i’m gonna shoot the guts outta that big dumb bastard myself, even if i only got one hand.”’ (steinbeck 48). this is when Curley, Slim and Carlson are getting together to find Lennie and hurt him and kill him. George thought

Another reason George had no other choice was that Lennie was not fully aware of his mental abilities as he was his physical strengths which often lead to Lennie getting in trouble like his one one incident that happened in weed before they came to the ranch. Also, aside from Curley’s Wife Lennie has killed other things before such as a mouse that he found, and a puppy on the ranch so Lennie could be a danger or potential threat to others on the ranch which would make sense to why George would have simply no other realistic choice but to kill him.

Lennie was talking to the boss’s son's wife, known as curley's wife Lennie killed curley's wife by accidentally snapping her neck. George and Candy were talking and george realizes that curley and boss would want to kill him or lock him up but they don't understand that lennie can't survive on his own. Georges debating whether to let the guys kill lennie or if he should,. George was telling Lennie a story and his hands were shaking and the gun drops. He continues to tell him the story but he hears the guys coming in the distance. George shoots Lennie and he

“Curley’s faced reddened. ‘ I’ m goin’,’ he said. ‘ I’m gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if I only got one hand. I’m gonna get him’.” (98). The way Curley said it look like he is really angry, and is going to lynch Lennie. So, george should decide whether to turn him to proper authority, or let him get lynched by ranch men or kill himself. Some argue that George shouldn’t kill Lennie because he is his best friend,but other may agree that he is justified of killing Lennie because George was tired of running,getting Lennie out of trouble, and they both can live peacefully. Thus, George decides to kill Lennie himself to a peaceful death rather than let him get killed brutally by ranch

First here are the events leading up to lennie’s untimely death. Well lennie and george find a ranch but there is tension between curley and lennie because of his size. One day curley's wife and lennie are in the barn alone and lennie accidentally broke her neck killing her so lennie runs off. Curley sets out to find lennie and this is when george killed lennie. You might be saying the events don’t make it right. Well curley would have killed lennie one way or another.

George knew that Lennie would never be truly happy without him. George knew that if he didn’t get to Lennie first, than Lennie would go to jail . He also knew that Lennie couldn’t live without him, because Lennie depends on George to always be there for him. Lennie humiliated Curley when Lennie broke Curley’s hand. Curley said to the guys around him, “‘I’m going in shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if I only got one hand’” (98). George knew that Lennie would be tortured by Curley because Lennie killed Curley's wife and humiliated him when Lennie broke Curley’s hand and won the fight, so George had to kill Lennie to keep him from suffering. Lennie would either in jail and suffer because Lennie doesn't have George, or be killed and tortured by Curley and suffer because Curley won’t kill him fast. George only had one choice and that was to kill

In John Steinbeck, novella Of Mice And Men we are introduced to George, the brain and Lennie, the muscles. As we travel beside the two men we are introduced to a dreary and often cruel world full of death and broken dreams of the early 1930. As the story progresses, we see how Lennie’s inability to control his own strength grows more and more troubling .This would lead to George having to make a heartbreaking decision about whether to shoot Lennie, sparing him from a slow and painless death. The debate that spawns from his decision is whether it was ethical to take someone else’s death into one’s and if it's murder or a case of a mercy killing. The book makes a compelling argument against George murdering Lennie because of his mental disability , the way he did not take proper care of Lennie, and should George shot Lennie?

George made the wrong decision killing Lennie because Lennie is disabled. People that are disabled can not control their actions. Some people would say to put him in a institution. The problem is that they have no money and there was not a lot of institutions back then. Lennie did not mean to kill Curley's wife he got scared and accidently killed her.

George has always watched Lennie and took care of him. It was promise George made to Lennie’s Aunt Clara. But after a lot of traveling due to Lennie’s behavior, George was getting tired. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George, a migrant farm worker, kills his best friends Lennie, a child-like man who most likely has a mental disability [I don’t like Lennie’s description]. It might seem preposterous to kill your own best friends, like George did, but he did the right thing.

When Curley said he is going to shoot the guts out of Lennie, George was shocked and could only think of one solution. With the way that Curley will kill Lennie, Lennie will be scared, hurt, and wondering about what will happen. Luckily, George was there to talk to him and make him excited and joyful, before Lennie was shot in the

After Curley finds out that his wife is dead, he says, “I’m gonna kill the son-of-a-bitch myself” (Steinbeck 96). Curley becoming angry shows that George needs to take matters into his own hands and shoot Lennie himself. George also had to make matters into his own hands when he had to save Lennie from downing (Steinbeck
